4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Grosse DIPA pour seulement(?) 8%. Amertume aigu tout le long de l’expérience. Agrume, sapin domine le malt. Pas la plus équilibré mais j’apprécie l’arrogance de son profil houblonné.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Golden beer, offwhite head. Malty nutty aroma, vinous and with some hops. Milky flavor, grassy, metal notes. Decent beer, but where did the hops go?
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, thanks to rlgk. Pours hazy amber with a small bubbly beige head leaving lace. Aroma is sweet, malty, phenolic and fruity. Flavor is more to BW than DIPA, maybe the bottle has been on the store shelf for a long tme. Still drinkable though. Finishes bitter sweet.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sweet, floral aroma. Bright honey color. Boozy sweet with hoppy bursts of orange/grapefruit/flowers.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
16.9 oz bottle into a large tulip glass.
A: Bright golden-amber body. Large, creamy off-white head. Great retention and nice thick, crystal-like lacing.
S: Subdued bitterness. Slightly grassy with a hint of generic citrus notes (grapefruit and orange). Undercurrent of sweet caramel malts.
T: A bit more bitter than the nose indicated. Predominately grassy and floral, but not much in the way of pine. Like the nose there are some grapefruit and orange rind bitterness bouncing throughout. Somewhat drowned out by the sweet caramel backbone.
M: Medium carbonation with a slightly thin finish with a lingering bitterness. Decent all around feel on the tongue.
O: Not bad overall. The flavor and aroma were not quite at the level I was expecting, but a decent brew nonetheless.

3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Bishops Liquors in Whitehouse NJ. Nice aroma, bitter taste but unpleasant metallic aftertaste at first. Smoothed out as it warmed or maybe my palate adjusted, but just never delivered hopiness I expected based on the description. Have to believe this was an older bottle, I’ve enjoyed a few Captain Lawrence brews from kegs direct from the brewery, looking forward to finding this on tap.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at RnH. Orange pour with very small head. Glossy hue. Light hops and orange/tangerine/grapefruit on the nose. Huge grapefruit and orange on the palate. Only light hops; malty undertones. Not a favorite but unique.
